We couldn’t have done it without the support of our wonderful customers, thank you all for sharing your unique experiences with us and for being so generous with your time and your insights.   Sinéad Lunny - Vocalis Public Speaking; Lesa Kelly and Ashleigh Mulgrave, Radius Housing; Patrick Woods, LINWOODS HEALTH FOODS; Richard Moore, Children in Crossfire; Paul McCoubrey CFP™, Navigate IFA Ltd; sandra corkin, Oasis Travel; John T.

Being curious about what’s going on both inside and outside of the bank is a really important part of that, so showcasing some of our customers was a fantastic way to investigate that curiosity together as a group.   “These sessions have also been an excellent way to connect with colleagues across the business, and to learn from different people and teams working in the bank. It’s one of the highlights of the year for us in the HR team at Danske Bank, so thanks to the team for all their support and thanks to our customers and colleagues for the stimulating and enjoyable conversations during our sessions.”   #BestPlaceToWork #MyDanskeMyBusiness #PersonalDevelopment Caroline van der Feltz FCIPD
